AbstractThe interplay and synergistic cooperation between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst systems is of utmost importance in nature. It is also applied in chemical synthesis. Here, it can allow for new reactivity, which is not possible by the employment of a single catalyst, and promote the catalysis of multiple transformations in a one-pot sequence. This could overall lead to novel reactions and the development of sustainable chemistry. In this context, a versatile and broad synergistic strategy for the selective synthesis of valuable molecules with variable complexity and under eco-friendly conditions is disclosed. It is based on integrated heterogeneous metal/organo multiple relay catalysis, which is performed in a single reaction vessel, and allows for the assembly of complex molecules (e.g., heterocycles and carbocycles) with up to three quaternary stereocenters in a highly enantioselective fashion from simple alcohols and air/O2.

A palladium-catalyzed synthetic strategy has been developed for one-pot synthesis of functionalized spiro(indoline-3,2′-quinazolin)-2-one derivatives from 2-aminobenzonitriles, arylboronic acids and isatins. This cascade strategy proceeds via successive C–C and two C–N bond formations in a single reaction vessel.

A versatile transition-metal free synthetic strategy has been developed for the direct synthesis of 6-substituted indoloquinazolinones from 2-acyl-4-quinazolinones and aryne precursors. This cascade strategy proceeds via successive C–N and C–C bond formation in a single reaction vessel.

Abstract The development of universal catalyst systems that enable efficient, selective, and straightforward chemical transformations is of immense scientific importance. Here we develop a domino process comprising three consecutive reaction steps based on the strategy of supramolecular substrate recognition. This approach provides valuable β-aryl aldehydes from readily accessible α-alkynoic acids and arenes under mild reaction conditions, employing a supramolecular Rh catalyst containing an acylguanidine-bearing phosphine ligand. Furthermore, the synthesis of a key intermediate of Avitriptan using this protocol is accomplished. The first step of the reaction sequence is proved to be the regioselective hydroformylation of α-alkynoic acids. Remarkably, molecular recognition of the ligand and the substrate via hydrogen bonding plays a key role in this step. Control experiments indicate that the reaction further proceeds via 1,4-addition of an arene nucleophile to the unsaturated aldehyde intermediate and subsequent decarboxylation.

We have developed a reaction monitoring platform capable of automated sampling and online HPLC analysis to generate temporal profiles for reactions performed from within a glovebox. The device allows for facile reaction progress analysis to aid in mechanistic studies of air-sensitive chemical transformations. The platform has demonstrated high reproducibility regarding sample mixing, dilution, delivery, and analysis. We employed the sampling platform to acquire temporal profiles for a series of Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Parallel coupling reactions using iodobenzene and bromobenzene both exhibit complex kinetics. A competition reaction including both aryl halides demonstrated high selectivity for iodobenzene indicative of catalyst monopoly. The temporal profile for the difunctionalized substrate 1,4-iodobromobenzene was unexpected based <i>a priori </i>and is indicative of a distinct underlying mechanism. We attribute this unanticipated reactivity to intramolecular catalysts transfer through the π system as seen in “living” polymerization transfer catalyst systems. This automated sampling platform has greatly increased mechanistic understanding by performing only a small subset of experiments.

ABSTRACTThis paper is presented to illustrate the utility of Fe-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy in the physical and chemical characterization of metallic catalysts as a function of preparation and subsequent treatment. The particular example chosen for investigation is the Ru-Fe bimetallic salt system which has significant potential as an active Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. The interpretation of the resulting Mössbauer parameters provides information on the chemical state of the metals as a function of treatment and initial salt properties and allows certain deductions to be made about particle size and solid state properties.

A four-step synthesis of benzo- and naphthothiophenes that have biological importance and application in material science was integrated into a one-pot reaction by using silica gel-supported acid and base reagents, NaHSO4/SiO2 and Na2CO3/SiO2. The supported reagents provided acid and base environments on the surface of the supports without neutralization and worked separately in the same medium. The four-step reaction comprises (i) deacetylation of 3-halo-2,4-pentanediones to α-halo ketones, (ii) deacetylation of S-aryl thioacetates to arene­thiols, (iii) coupling of α-halo ketones and arenethiols to give α-sulfanyl ketones, and (iv) cyclization of sulfanyl ketones to benzo- and naphthothiophenes. The steps (i) and (iii) proceeded by Na2CO3/SiO2, and (ii) and (iv) by NaHSO4/SiO2. The four-step reaction proceeded efficiently by introduction of starting materials and reagents in a single reaction vessel. The starting materials were very easy to handle and unpleasant smell of aryl thiols that were used in conventional methods could be avoided. Novel thirty-nine benzo- and naphthothiophenes were synthesized by this method in excellent to fair yields.

In recent years, there has been a rapid and sustained increase in the development and use of one-pot chemoenzymatic reaction processes for the efficient synthesis of high-value molecules. This strategy can provide a number of advantages over traditional synthetic methods, including high levels of selectivity in reactions, mild and sustainable reaction conditions, and the ability to rapidly build molecular complexity in a single reaction vessel. Here, we present several examples of chemoenzymatic one-pot reaction sequences that demonstrate the diversity of transformations that can be incorporated in these processes.
